Print a temporary paper tag that says what a device is waiting for: ready to deploy, a loaner due back, wipe before disposal, or wiped and ready for disposal. Each tag carries the device's QR code.

Overview

A status tag is not the permanent asset label. It is a short lived tag you stick on a device on the bench or the shelf, so anyone can see its state at a glance. The details are read from the equipment each time you print.

Tag	Prints
Ready to deploy	Make and model, who it is for (if you say), serial number, operating system, memory and storage, and "Staged" with the date and your name
Loaner	Make and model, "Lent to" the borrower, "Due back" with the date, and "Return to" the contact shown on your found equipment page, or IT
Wipe before disposal	Make and model, serial number, when it was retired and by whom, and "Do not reuse or sell until the drive is wiped"
Wiped, ready for disposal	Make and model, serial number, "Wiped" with the date and who did it, and how

Sizes: DYMO 30252 address, 1 1/8 x 3 1/2 in (the default), DYMO 30256 shipping, 2 5/16 x 4 in, DYMO 2 1/8 x 1 in (heading and tag only), and Zebra 4 x 2 in. A smaller tag prints as many lines as fit, most important first.

Requirements

• Role: Assign, lend and check in. Admin, Manager and Technician have it by default.

Step 1: Print a tag for one device

1. Open the equipment and click Print status tag.
2. Tag starts with the tag that fits the device's state, with "Suggested from where it is" below. Change it if you need another.
3. For Ready to deploy, fill in For with who it is for, if you know.
4. Pick the Label size.
5. Under File, choose PDF, for a DYMO or any printer: print at actual size or ZPL, for a Zebra printer. For ZPL, set the Printer resolution.
6. Click Print.

Step 2: Print tags for many devices

1. On the Equipment list, tick the devices.
2. Choose Print status tags from the bulk actions.
3. Leave Tag empty and each device gets the tag for where it is, or pick one tag for all.
4. Pick the size and file, and click Print.

Disposed equipment in the selection is skipped.
